C.—A strange case of apparent dual personality is attracting such attention here that a committee of physicians and physcologists is preparing to examine the subject, Major Perry, 90-year-old Negro and former slave, who is illiterate when awake, but who delivers scholarly sermons in perfect English when asleep. Major Perry lives four miles north of Leesville in the lower edge of Saluda county. In appearance he is a typical ante-bellum Negro, "ceremoniously polite to all white folks," and quaint and engaging in his manner. While awake he speaks in dialect of the unlettered Negro, and finds it impossible to quote even so much as a verse from the bible. But when he drops into the strange trances that he seems able to summon at will, he becomes an entirely different person. He speaks with the precision of a student of English, and quotes entire chapters from the English, and quotes entire chapters from the English without error or hesitancy. These statements are vouchered for by the Rev. Frank M. Graham, evangelist of Greene county, Georgia, who recently visited Major Perry at his home near here; J. G Holder, who prepared an article on the strange old Negro for the Twin City News of Leesville; and by the editor of the Register-Record at Wagner, S. C., who went to the little cabin of Major Perry to study the Negro who preaches in his sleep. Many others also have heard the messages that fall from the lips of the old man as he lies in a trance. Evangelist Graham has known the old Negro for years, and believes the man endowed with two personalities, one being in control when he is awake, and the other when he is asleep. The more superstitious advance the theory that Major Perry received a "call" to preach, but refused to heed the call. The Holy Ghost, however, not to be outdone takes possession of him when he is asleep they say, and uses him as a mouthpiece to deliver messages from God to men up on the earth. The suggestion has been made that Major Perry has learned a sermon couched in chosen words, which he delivers while shamming a trance. The answer to this is that no two of his sermons are the same and each contains different quotations from the bible. COLORED CONCREGATIONALISTS THANK PRESIDENT COOLIDGE Washington, D. C.—Colored representatives at the National Council of Congregational Churches which met here October 20th-28th, called on President Coolidge, Saturday, October 24th, and praised him for his speech against intolerance, delivered at Omaha this month. Doctor Henry H. Procter, of Brooklyn, New York, who acted as spokesman said: "In behalf of the 15,000 colored Congregationalists of the United States, we greet you as a fellow Congregationalist in whom we have full confidence, not only because of your traditional background, but also because of your example as a Christian and your acts as a President. "Particularly do we want to thank you for that great word you spoke at Omaha, the bravest word spoken by any Executive for three-score years. It sounds like Lincoln. "Our prayer is that God may use you to promote that good-will between white and black in America that speaks interracial co-operation, and that peace among all the nations of the earth that means they will study war no more." BRITISH TAKE STEPS TO REMOVE THE LAST VESTIGE OF SLAVERY Geneva—The last spot on the British empire's map where slavery exists is said to be the Hukawing Valley in the upper portion of the Indian province Burma. By next May Britain hopes to have removed the last vestige of degradation from the dominions and colonies directly under her control, and from those bordering as well. THE MONITOR NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor "I must get something to raise me." "A cake of yeast, if you please!" "I hope it works!" APPOINTMENT OF RACE LABOR LEADER URGED BY LEAGUE American Federation of Labor Would Win Confidence of Colored Workers by Practical Recognition UNIONS USE DISCRIMINATION Washington,—Appointment by the American Federation of Labor of a black man as executive adviser to counsel with the officials of the labor movement on organization problems affecting workers was urged today by T. Arnold Hill, director of the Urban League. The confidence of black workers throughout the country in the American Federation of Labor, he pointed out, can be brought about if the appointment suggested to President Green is followed. Insisting that the forthcoming campaign for members for the American Federation of Labor will have every prospect of success through the assurance that such an individual can give to black workers, Mr. Hill said that black men are denied membership in ten of the 110 labor organizations. Practice Subterfuge Others, while not actually barring workers from the organization, practice subterfuge with which the workers are familiar to keep them out of the locals in different parts of the country, Mr. Hill said. Conferences will be planned to bring this participation in industrial centers in the East and Middle-west, he declared, and out of these conferences a more amicable relation between black workers and the American Federation of Labor will follow. "The appointment of a capable, industrious, and tactful Negro," he added, "to take general charge, under the direction of the A. F. of L., of your colored work, will insure the needed confidence of his race in the personality and integrity of the A. F. of L." NATIVE NEBRASKAN WORLD WAR VETERAN STATE CIVIL ENGINEER New York—Clyde R. Brannon, whom Uncle Sam called from his studies at Howard University for World War service, after being honored with a First Lieutenant's commission, plunged into the European conflict never thinking that he would see the good old U. S. A. again. Young Brannon, like many others, was spared however. He returned to school and obtained his degree in civil engineering and was forthwith appointed, after competitive examination, as a civil engineer with the New York State Highways Commission with whom he has made an enviable record on survey and construction work Brannon was in the first civil-engineering class graduated from Howard University and his rapid development, along with that of his class-mates, means that the inclusion of competent colored engineers in this important profession will grow larger and larger with time. Clyde R. Brannon is a native Nebraskan a graduate of the Fremont High School His relatives reside in Fremont and Omaha HOWARD GRADUATE AWARDED STATE BRIDGE CONTRAIT Indianapolis—The firm of David Jenkins and son, contractors and builders, of this city has been awarded a bridge contract by the Indiana State Highway Commission. In speaking of the success of the company, the Indianapolis Recorder says: "Mr. Jenkins has been building bridges for the state a number of years, and has now formed a partnership with his son, Martin, a Howard graduate of the class of 1925." This latest contract is for the construction of a $21,000 bridge in Whiteley County, Indiana.

C.—(AFRO Bureau)—The National Council of Congregational Churches, in session here at Washington Auditorium, adopted a social creed last Saturday night which calls for the elimination of all racial discrimination, by a sweeping majority. The two clauses with reference to racial discrimination in the "statement of social order," are as follows: "The elimination of all racial discrimination and the substitution of full brotherly treatment for all races in America." "The removal of every unjust barrier of trade, color, creed and race, and the practice of equal justice for By the Cameraman For Preston News Service The High Episcopal Church Speaks A grave Episcopalian Church Congress has just closed at Earlbourne, England at which solemn words of warning were uttered against the continued arraignment of race against race and color against color. No less Churchman than the known Lord Willingdon (white), a former gover nor of two presidencies in India, and J H. Oldham (white), Secretary of the In ternational Missionary Council, agreed in open conference, that it is impossible to continue the old policy of white su premacy: "In my view," said Lord Willingham, "there is only one solution of the problem. The white races must realize the necessity of treating all colored men in the spirit of absolute equality and give up the attitude of color superiority. Providence long ago placed the white man in the position of a trustee, whose wards, the colored men, are now rapidly growing up. The white man no longer dominates them, even for their own good. At best he can only tacfully guide them past particular dangers. I honestly believe if the whole attitude of the white to colored races could be altered, if the white man would always accept in a spirit of giving equality and opportunity to those who are colored, what appears now as an aggressive and unreasonable attitude on the part of the colored races would entirely change and they would be willing to discuss these important matters in a fair spirit, with a due sense of the difficulties surrounding them. The only one way of doing this is by always carrying into relationship with colored races the prin- MATTHEWS APPOINTED SPECIAL ASISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL Washington, D. C.-William C. Matthews, of Boston, Massachusetts, former Harvard University football and baseball star, has been appointed a Special Assistant to the Attorney General of he United States, and immediately ordered to proceed to Lincoln, Nebraska, to represent the Government in certain Federal prosecutions. Mr. Matthews was at the head of the Colored Division of the Republican National Executive Committee during the presidential campaign of 1924. He has the confidence in the largest possible measure of the members of his race. POLITICAL CLUB STARTED BY PROMINENT WOMEN Indianapolis, Ind.-Nearly 200 well known women recently met and organized the "Colored Women's Republican Club." The purpose of the organization is to pro air nations. In the opening session of the council Tuesday, October 20, Dr. William L. Cash, of New Orleans, La., was elected a second assistant moderator in the most spirited contest of the day. He received 322 votes. His opponent, Mrs. E. H. Oberson, white, of Oak Park, Ill., received 129 votes. About a dozen delegates spoke in behalf of the two candidates. Some of them favored a continuation of the custom of electing a member of the colored branch of the Congregational Church should be continued; others thought that it was time that this office should go to a woman. Dr. Henry H. Proctor, of Brooklyn, N. Y., made an eloquent and impassioned address in nominating Dr. Cash. Sol Johnson, Savannah, Ga., was elected president of the American Missionary Association which voted to merge its nine associations into a single board. ciples of the Christian faith and remembering that there is a divinity who shapes our ends, rough hew theng as we will." A Christian Indian, Shoran Singha, who addressed the Congress in faultless English, said that: "We have got to get rid of the idea that God sent the white man to rule black. We must get rid of the white man's prestige. Not the prestige of color, but the prestige of character will count in the future." To say that the Protestant Church will be "rocked" by this arouncement of certain notables of the staid but colorful Church of England is to put it mildly, Yet, of all the Protestant churches the Episcopalians has never been the most radical; and were it, with one forward move, to attempt to assert a fine type of Christianity as that which Lord Willingdon and his colleague so openly asserted, it might be that the Christian conscience of the church world might arouse itself from its dormant state and begin to practice what it has been preaching for lo these many years. Building a Race— It was a rainy night and the Veteran was gloomy as we opened his door and he laid aside the evening paper to bid us a gruff "Good Evening." "Lodges and churches are about the only ventures into which the colored people put their whole energy, brains, time and money," he said despondently as he substituted his bank book for the evening news.

NO ADULT ILLITERACY Washington, D. C.—The Virgin Islands, according to a report from the Director of Education' of the Islands, are practically free from adult illiteracy. The Danish Government had maintained excellent schools for many years before the islands came into the possession of the United States. FIRST GRADUATE OF OBERLIN COLLEGE DIES Washington, D. C.—Miss Emma Patterson who had been placed on the retired list of public school teachers, is dead SEVEN YEARS OF FAITHFUL SERVICE AMPLY REWARDED Lexington, Ky.-Twenty thousand ooars is the reward rendered for seven years as butler and cook by Lev Johnson and his wife, Eliza. Lev and his wife left Versailles in 1918, and went to Columbus, Ohio, where they were employed by Miss Martha Green Deshler. Two weeks ago Miss Deshler died. The servants were left a legacy of $20,000. TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS GIVEN TO EDUCATION Cleveland, Ohio—St. John A. M. E. Church of this city, of which Rev. Edward A. Clarke, A. M., D. D., is pastor, has given over $10,000 to the cause of education during his pastorate of the last five years. This is probably a larger amount than any other colored church in the country has given. "MOVIES" Caliph, or the Royal Zebras League, and you'd have to hire two certified public accountants and eight double entry book-keepers," he added with a snap. "Well, the churches are quite a necessity," we ventured to reply, timidly. "Yes, but it's quite overdone," the Veteran quickly countered. "Here's where a congregation of four thousand opens the doors of a $450,000 church in New York City, while all poor Sam Browne can get to keep the Staten Island Ku Klux Klan from putting him out of his home on Castleton Hill is -150.00," the Veteran shouted as he flashed a newspaper in our faces. "Look in the next column," he added, "and you will see where the Grand Legal Counsellor of the Diligent Order of Stags' already getting a salary of $75 a week, has been sent to jail for fraud." "We're all wrong," the Veteran continued excitedly. "The churches and the lodges have got the economic advancement of the brethren bound and gagged; and for every twelve dollar a-week dude there is behind the cash window of the insurance company, a grocery store or a shoe factory, there are fifty-seven varieties of evangelists drawing three and four thousand bucks a year for telling us to fasten our minds on glory." "The church is all right," the Veteran concluded, as we arose uneasily to depart, "and so is the lodge. The church did fine work as the Negroes' only forum in the antebellum days; but now we've put to put some dollars and sense into the race; or else Time, the Tomb builder, will catch us all without any economic overcoat when the cold season comes; and the churches, as you know, are closed all during the week." and had taught school for over forty years. She was one of the first colored students to be graduated from Oberlin College. Although retired five years ago, Miss Patterson died after a brief illness.

Both were dead when the police arrived. Whole Number 538 EGRO'S Race Discri BEAN EATERS RESENT JIM CROWING STUDENT OF BOSTON UNVERSITY Doors of Several Exclusive Clubs Are Opened to Negro Gentlemen in Defiance of Race Prejudice Boston, Mass.—Adverse public sentiment aroused by the action of the Boston Athletic Association in barring Charles Oswell, colored fullback of Boston University from the main dining room of the club at a team luncheon, has resulted in a staunch condemnation of such discriminations by Boston's most exclusive clubs, and the apologetic withdrawal of such policies by the B. A. A. The centers of Boston's most aristocratic club life, the Somerset Club, the Union Club, the Algonquin Club, the University Club and the Boston Art Club, as an answer to the challenge of prejudice, sent out statements that their doors were always open to welcome colored American gentlemen. The superintendent of the B. A. A. in a weak way declared that the act of discrimination was a slip-up, and that no rule against the entertaining of colored guest exists at the club. The fiery letters of Albert C. Wolff of the Greater Boston Branch of the Equal Rights League, and the Morgan Memorial Church of All Nations, scoring the viciousness of the Jimcrowing of a highly respectable gentleman, scholar and athlete because of his color is believed to have brought to bear considerable of the bitter disapproval of the Boston Athletic Association's act. LOUISVILLE UNI. AUTHORIZES EXTENSION OF COURSES Louisville—Widespread enthusiasm has followed the action of the Board of Trustees of Louisville University, who, at their meeting on September 15, 1925, authorized the statement that there will be provided out of the proceeds of the Bond issue of $1,000,000, if voted, a laboratory building for use in giving extension courses for colored students under University control and supervision, for which courses full credit will be given; this building to be erected at some convenient place so that its facilities may be combined with other facilities with the view of coordinating all available agencies for offering complete courses to colored young men and women of Louisville and nearby Kentucky points OMAHA HIGH SCHOOLS FAVOR ALL YEAR SESSION Washington—In Omaha, all the-year-sessions have been proposed for the high schools, following the successful experience of the Technical high school, in this city, with the four quarter plan. This school has been operating 48 weeks a year for seven years, and the plan has proved very satisfactory, says a recent issue of "School Life," which adds: "A four-year class is graduated at the end of each twelve week quarter, and bright and energetic pupils may complete the entire course in three years. The other three high schools in Omaha have already adopted an eight week summer session." BROADWAY CLUB CARS ARE MANNED BY FILIPINOS Chicago, Ill. (By the Associated Negre Press)—Starting last Saturday, Oct. 31st the club cars of the BROADWAY, the crack train on the Pennsylvania Railroad between Chicago and New York, left with Filippino attendants. This is the second time within three weeks that Filippines have been utilized in Pullman service; a special train to the University Foot-hall Game at Campaign being manned by six Filippino porters. Some prominent Filippinos in this country are interested in this racial service development and it is understood one very prominent Filippino from Manila has been in Chicago for the last ten days. Pull man officials described it as "an innovation in service". BLACKED FACED ROBBER PROVES OWN WHITE KIN New York—Washing the smoot covered face of an at first supposed Negro fugitive, the police discovered their captive to be Richard McNamara, 22, (white) of 26 West Sixty-fifth street, the nephew of Mrs. Edith J Sullivan of 362 Bement avenue, West New Brighton. The woman had sent them after a "colored man" who held her and her eighteen year old daughter Julia, up in their home and fled when a second daughter appeared.

October 30, when the trial of Dr. and Mrs. Ossian H. Sweet and nine others, charged with first degree murder, resulting from the killing of Leon F. Breiner, September 9, when a mob attacked Dr. Sweet's home, began The selecting of a jury consumed practically four days. Great difficulty was encountered in securing a jury and Clarence Darrow, chief of the defense array of counsel, used every precaution to select a jury that would be fair and impartial and to exclude from it members of the Ku Klux Klan. The first panel of 165 jurors was soon exhausted and when court adjourned Monday until Wednesday the second panel of 65 was being rapidly reduced. Nearly one hundred persons were challenged by the defense. Each juror drawn was questioned as to birthplace, parentage, political and social affiliations and asked if he were prejudiced, believed in equality of the law, and that a man in this free country should purchase property where he chooses and his means permit him. The jury was selected and sworn in Thursday morning of this week and the examination of witnesses began. Wren Clarence Darow entered the court room Friday morning he was greeted with vigorous applause. A brilliant array of counsel is associated with him. They include Arthur Garfield Hayes of New York, Herbert Friedman, of Chicago, who is contributing his services; Walter M. Nelson, Charles V. Mahoney, Julian W. Perry and Cecil Roulette, the three latter being colored, all of Detroit. Representing the State of Michigan in the prosecution are Robert M. Toms, county attorney, E. H. Kennedy, Jr., and Lester Moll. A great portion of Thursday morning was devoted to the renewal of argument over the request of the defense for a bill of particulars, which would provide the defense with something definite upon which to base a motion for dismissal. TUSKEGEE'S OLDEST NEGRO EMPLOYEE, 94, DIES Tuskegee Institute, Ala. (By the Associated Negro Press)—Felix Branum, Tuskegee Institute's oldest employee, died here at the age of ninety-four. When Booker T. Washington began the work at Tuskegee in 1881, Branum was working as a cook for one of the white families in Tuskegee. A strong friendship between the two led to Branum's later employment as a cook when the Boarding Department was begun. In those early days the cooking was done in a wash boiler in the open air. Because of his faith in Booker T. W. Washington Branum practiced the most rigid economies with the food, notwithstanding the fact that his salary was frequently several months behind. Booker T. W. Washington himself never failed to give credit to Branum for his self-sacrificing loyalty during the "days of small things" at Tuskegee Institute. During the forty years of his employment, Branum saw the Boarding Department grow from nothing to more than $248,163. In the beginning, he was chef, steward, head waiter, and matron, all combined in one job. "Uncle Felix" as some of the workers called him, was friend and advisor to the one hundred and thirty-five workers now employed to prepare and serve the food for the students and teachers at the Institute The deceased was born in Washington, Georgia, in 1831. When emancipation came after Civil War, he remained in the county, a respected citizen. He's survived be a wife, five children and twenty-one grandchildren.

THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE A moment's thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro. He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has depended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American literature but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among the closest heritages of this land. Finally the Negro has played a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, breathing test of our ideals and an example of the faith, hope and tolerance of our religion.—Du Bois, "The Gift of Black Folk."

Periliminary plans are being made with formation of groups representing all elements of our citizenship. It is a civic, or city-wide movement in which all are expected to share. It is planned to make the campaign short and snappy. The goal set for the support of the agencies in the Chest is a little above $550,000. This is about $100,000 more than was asked last year. The increase is largely accounted for by the addition of two large groups which were not in the Chest last year. These are the RomanCatholic charities and the Jewish Welfare Federation. These organizations are now in and will add strength to the campaign and inasmuch as these organizations raised approximately $80,000 for their work. it will be seen that the increased asking is only about $20,000. The benefits of the Community need no emphasizing here. The charitable and welfare organizations supported by the Chest extend their benefactions to all impartially. We feel confident that our own people will respond generously with their gifts and services. We should give generously not with an idea as to how much we, as a special group will get out of it, but how much, according to our means we can put into it. The formal drive starts, Monday, November 16. Be ready to work and to give to the Community Chest which is for the purpose of helping not only those who are in need, but in forming character in our younger citizenship, which explain why the Boy Scouts and similar organizations are included in the agencies supported by the Community Chest. SHOULD HELP OUR PEOPLE IN OMAHA and Nebraska should contribute to the Defense Fund which the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is raising for the legal defense of the rights of Negroes assailed in many quarters. This money is not to be used in the defense of real or habitual criminals, but in test cases like that of Dr. Sweet which is now being tried in Detroit, Mich., and the residential segregation which is to come before the United Supreme Court this month. The Monitor takes the ground that Dr. Sweet was absolutely right in shooting into that mob which was attacking his home. Every member of thathooting mob was a law breaker and the "innocent bystander" who was killed had no business being in that mob. But he that as it may, in Dr. Sweet and his co-defendants are not ordinary or habitual criminals. There is a principle at issue which affects every Negro against unlawful attack or invasion. If Dr. Sweet should be convicted of murder, and we venture the prophecy that he will not be, then it means an open initation to any lawless mob, anywhere in the United States to drive a black man from the home which his industry has provided for himself and loved ones, whenever such a mob decides that his presence in any given neighborhood is objectionable not upon the grounds of bad behavior, but upon the ground of color. Such a decision may affect only the black man now, but the evil will grow and jeopardize the right of domicile of any THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedman negligible.

CONGREGATIONALISTS POINT THE WAY TO PEACE THE CONGREGATIONALISTS, who like the Unitarians, have always been better exponents of the Gospel of Christ in their dealings with 'God's image in ebony' than have most of the denominations who profess and call themselves Christians, have just adopted a social creed in their recent National Council held in Washington, D. C., which calls for "the elimination of all racial discrimination and the substitution of full brotherly treatment for all races in America." Nor does it limit this brotherliness to national boundaries, it recognizes the brotherhood of the world, which is unquestionably the ideal of Christianity, for the Council pledges itself further to strive for "the removal of every barrier of trade, color creed and race and the practice of equal justice for all nations." If all Christian denominations will honestly act upon these principles the day is not far distant when racial strife, bitterness, hatred and ill will will be supplanted by racial harmony sweetness, love and good will among men and battle flags will be furled and we will have a warless world. TOLD THEM TO "GO TO——" NO, kind reader, he did not say it that way, although we rough westerners would cheerfully have excused him if he had. But, then, too, he might not have gained as much as he did if he had said that way. It was Charles Oswell. popular stellar fullback of the Boston University team. The team was invited to a luncheon at the Boston Athletic Association. The manager wanted Oswell to be served apart from his team mates in a private room. Oswell very properly declined this special attention and went home, refusing however, to permit his teammates to withdraw with him. This discrimination has stirred Boston and many of the aristocratic clubs have declared that their doors are open to welcome colored gentlemen. If you have got a job hold onto it and do your best.

The money will be used to provide a gymnasium in the high school here and to improve Memorial Park, a tract adjoining the court house ground where children play. Mr. Underhill, a lover of children, was a bachelor, and so far as is known had but two close relatives, sisters to whom he left $500 each. He was found dead in bed Tuesday, death having followed a stroke of apoplexy Coming to Mays Landing a quarter of a century ago virtually penniless, and for many years the only colored man of the town, he put money made in his candy store into real estate, and recently sold a tract of 746 acres for $35,000, which a few years ago had cost him but $2,500. Although he lived in a two-room shack until his death, Mr. Underhill was intelligent and well read, always interested himself in the welfare of the community held high in standing among all the people of the township.

Mr. Charles M. Schwab, Chairman of the board of directors of the great Bethlehem Steel Company, in speaking for the steel industry which employs in the blast furnaces and steel works and rolling mills nearly 500,000 persons, many of whom the colored, to whom is paid an income in salaries and wages aggregating more than four billion dollars yearly, said: "Steel is the Nation's barometer and the outlook for steel was never better." Mr. E. W. Rice, Jr., Honorary Chairman of the board of the General Electric Company, was equally confident that the Nation is about to enter an era of great prosperity and spoke of the future of electricity, of electrified railroads, and of the cheap power and light to the farmer, to whom they are "more important than to any other class of our population." Major General James G. Harbord, President of the Radio Corporation of America, in adding his optimism to that of the previous speakers, told of the growth of his industry and of its prospects. He said: "Radio has grown from a $2,000,000 infant in 1920 to a lusty five-year old of $350,000,000 last year, and an estimate of $500,000,000 this year. When prosperity is predicted by our outstanding men of this type, upon whose foresight and activities conditions of employment so largely depend, it stimulates business men generally and results in new investments and extensions; in a greater development of our natural resources; in a larger volume of production by our manufacturing establishments; in an increase in the number of persons employed; and gives life to trade and commerce. In all of this we are greatly concerned, because prosperity for us. It mtns more industrial opportunities, more bank accounts, more homes, more business enterprises, more cultural opportunities; in fact, it means a betterment of both our economic and social as a people. It means PROGRESS Clarence Darrow crawls himself an agonistic in religion, but his humanitarianism can put to shame many who consider themselves quite orthodox. Biblical "Needle's Eye" Pittsburgh, Kan. — The "needle's eye" referred to in the New Testament is a small gate in the wall of Jerusalem, not a sewing needle, at least in the opinion of Job Negelm, twenty-three-year-old Arab guide in the Holy Land, who is studying music at the Pittsburgh State Teachers' college. The Biblical passage to which this modern Job has adduced a new meaning is in Mark 10:25, wherein Jesus chided those who "trust in riches" saying: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven." "The needle's eye," says Negelm, "commonly misunderstood as the eye of a sewing needle, is known to Jerusalem as a small gate within a larger gate in the city walls. It is for the use of pedestrians after the larger gate is closed for the night for protection. The gate is so low that an average-sized man must stoop low to go through it." Stork Brings Russian Peasants More Land Moscow.—Every woman in the town of Zarubino, Smolensk province, is expecting a visit from the stork. At least that is what the women swore when a land surveyor visited the town to supervise the distribution of land. The sudden discovery of the prospective increase in the birth rate may have been due. It was suggested, to the fact that under the Russian land law every peasant is entitled to an additional share of land for every new member of his family. The surveyor decided to postpone his allotments waiting for the stork returns, but meantime he ruled that if the prospective mothers bore twins or triplets the added share of land would be the same as though only single babies were born. The land law is said to account partly for the increased birth rate noted among peasant families since the country emerged from the period of civil war and famine. WATERS BARNHART PRINTING CO.

New York-What type of fires to expect in selected months can be foretold with reasonable certainty by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. The board has found that the arson curve reflects not only the ebb and flow of prosperity, but also, with unvarying regularity, the closing of the special seasons in certain commodities. A precise relation between incendiary fires and industrial seasons is known to exist. With the approach of the Christmas season, the fur manufacturing trade concludes its brief "year," and as the cutting and sewing machines slow down, the number of conflagrations in these shops increases inordinately with other months. Sudden Increases in April. Some important sections of the garment trades season end in April, and from the middle of that month, underwriters assert, they may expect a sudden increase in calls for fire settlements. Similarly with the sporting goods manufacturing, and other industries whose period of output occupies only a portion of the calendar year. A trade map of the country warns the insurance man where to expect sectional conflagrations of unusual frequency. This year they are said to center in New England, where the textile industry is below par, but the wave also has touched upstate New York, and in the last two years the finger pointed to Texas, then Georgia and to southern Illinois. Some estimates lay as high as 40 per cent of the $500,000,000 annual fire loss to the band of the "fire bug." His work is marked by death as well as destruction, for of the 15,000 people who perished in flames in the United States last year, many died in configurations of deliberate origin. In William street, which is to insurance what Wall street is to finance and Maiden Lane to gems, there is issued a monthly chart for the information of underwriters. It shows in parallel columns the fires which have occurred in various trades and the "business embarrassments" noted in the same industries. "What fires are running now?" is a common inquiry of an insurance agent returning from a short vacation. "Clothing," or "leather goods," or "trimming" may be the reply. Adjusters and investigators have been warned to scrutinize carefully reports in the trade which, for the time being at least, is known to be undergoing an extra hazard. Even the weather has a not inconsiderable influence on commercial fires. If summer lingers, throwing the fall trade sales behind, the fact is noted by the underwriters' loss committee; if the winter is unusually severe, a closer watch is kept on the spring trades, for straw hats and filmsy dress goods will be retarded on their way to market and the weaker elements of those trades may be pinched. Unassimilated allens often are the blazers of the arson trail. Underwriters hold this type responsible for many devastating confagrations. Although declared to be widespread arson is a difficult crime to prove, and many claims are settled that just failed to bring a criminal indictment.

PAGE FOUR Army Officers Work Washington.—Adoption by the army of coats with roll collars for all branches of the service, as recently authorized for air officers, is regarded as considerably nearer by many officers attached to the War department. It was disclosed that a definite step in this direction has been made by Mal. Gen. Creed C. Hammond, chief of the military bureau, who has addressed circular letters to the adjutant general of all states requesting the views of National Guard officers on the subject. General Hammond entertains no doubt that the majority preference will be for the roll collar. The proponents of the change assert that the present high and tight-fitting collar is a source of discomfort that far outweighs the "military appearance" ascribed to it as one of its virtues by those who advocate its retention.

So startling is this phenomenon to constituted authority that a police edict has been issued in Tokyo that any geisha who appears in public with her coifure arranged in any but old style Japanese will forfeit her professional license. The blame for the desire of the geishas is placed upon moving pictures. Outside geisha ranks girls are dispensing with old-style coifures. Waltresses are smiling beneath hair smoothed high over huge "rats," in a style known as "harikara," a word adapted from the phrase "high collar," and signifying "in the latest mode." Flappers in high schools are bobbing. Housewives have discovered the advantages of "buns" tucked in and fastened with hairpins. DON'T FAIL TO READ— PROSTITUTES!
